A deep garnet red wine that offers opulent aromas of mango, rose, lichee and violet evolving to cardamom and ginger. This olfactory explosion is a result of the unusual blend of Petit Verdot and Malbec. In the mouth it is smooth, supple, and creamy, with rich, mouthcoating tannins and lovely floral and fruity notes of yellow peach, blackcurrant and strawberry, and also the vivacity of pomegranate, with violet, liquorice, elderberry and mint joining this joyous harmony on the finish. L’Epicurius is a surprise reserved for the curious in pursuit of the luscious.
